Trusted wood floor repair in Letchworth

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a board often means lifting boards to reach it, finding a board that matches and relaying. A repair leaves the floor down. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. Dents, chips and gouges are filled.
  3. We level the repair to the board surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. Finally we match the sheen of the floor.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire floor, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Questions from Letchworth

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How much does wood floor repair cost in Letchworth?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SG6 postcode.

Do you work in Letchworth?

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you need wood floor repair in Letchworth?

Chair legs, pets and dropped items mark wood and laminate floors, and sliding appliances can gouge the boards.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Scratches from furniture and pets
  • Dents from dropped items
  • Burns
  • Gouges from moving appliances

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
